How many sides does a cube have?

I'll admit I had to look this one up (you sparked my curiousity with the "everybody is wrong" update)

Here's what I found: "A cube is a 3D solid shape. A Cube has 6 square-shaped flat faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges. While defining the sides o f a 3D figure, you do not define the number of sides but the number of edges."
